General Surgery

General surgeons are trained to diagnose and perform surgical procedures involving a wide range of conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and endocrine organs. Their scope includes both elective and emergency surgeries.

Common procedures performed by general surgeons include hernia repairs, appendectomy, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), bowel resections, treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding, and surgical management of skin and soft tissue masses. They are also involved in the surgical care of trauma patients and critical care support.

General surgeons play a key role in the entire perioperative process—starting from patient evaluation and diagnostic workup, to surgical intervention and postoperative recovery. They often collaborate with specialists in gastroenterology, oncology, radiology, and critical care to deliver comprehensive and multidisciplinary care tailored to each patient’s needs.
